Targeting USP47 overcomes tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance and eradicates leukemia stem/progenitor cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia

Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) is a limitation to their use in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Here, the authors show that targeting the ubiquitin peptidase USP47 overcomes TKI resistance and eliminates leukaemia stem/progenitor cells in primary and xenograft CML murine...

Description
Summary:Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) is a limitation to their use in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Here, the authors show that targeting the ubiquitin peptidase USP47 overcomes TKI resistance and eliminates leukaemia stem/progenitor cells in primary and xenograft CML murine models.
